Question

I'm using latest node.js version 0.10.26 and I got these errors when I tried installing postgres module with

npm install pg

enter image description here Though It installed successfully yet I don't know what this means. Help needed!

Was it helpful?

Solution

Microsoft Visual Studio's compiler emits different warnings to gcc, so it'll complain in places where gcc won't, and vice versa.

Many open source developers don't test on Windows with MSVC or d so as little as possible. So they'll usually not see such warnings during regular development.

Most warnings like this are actually harmless - for example, assignment from size_t to int only matters if the value can ever be large enough to fit in size_t but not fit in int. They indicate potential problems in the code, but most often not real problems that'll impact normal operation.

So - I wouldn't worry overly. Report them to the Pg gem developers so they know they happen. Beyond that, you should be fine. There aren't any really serious warnings like uninitialized variable use there, they're all type cast and conversion warnings.
